I'm sorry to ask within this topic, but I am using a Sony HVR-Z1 as well and am having trouble capturing in CS6. It says that the capture device is offline.It seems that you had the same problem and I was wondering if you can tell me how you fixed that.

I doubt this will help, but whenever I have issues importing tapes, I trysomething else. I double check the software's manual becausesometimes, even if I have done the same thing several times, I addor miss something. If that does not work I close the program and restart the computer and camcorder and try again ... with a different tape. If that doesn't work I use a different program. I use an old HP workstation I paid $99 for on Ebay that's running XP and I capture with Scenalyzer. Then I copy file to a USB drive and input to Premiere. Sorry, I figure the problem is me, not the hardware or software and it usually is me becausewhen the next project comes along PP usally imports fine.
